HALO Air Ambulance came close to permanently shutting its doors in May of 2020, as a result of fundraising challenges from the pandemic and little movement on funding coming from the provincial government.

Through a number of community fundraisers and large scale donations however, HALO was able to keep full medevac operations running while still waiting for the results of the province’s Helicopter Emergency Medical Services review.

People will be able to purchase tickets for the lottery beginning on Thursday, with links to the lottery being located on HALO’s website.
